Fitzpatrick, like many players on the Dolphins defense, was involved on the wrong end on at least two of the Ravens’ eight touchdowns on the day.

It was a contributing factor — along with the final score — to other players like veteran safety Walt Aikens, defensive back Chris Lammons, free safety Steven Parker earning playing time later in the second half in place of Fitzpatrick. Flores said he wanted to rotate players on the back end of his secondary in the game.

“The coaches can call whatever they want. I know on my play, I wasn’t in the best position, but I gotta make a play and cover my guy. That’s usually what I do. I just got to do my job. That’s all it boils down to.

“Whether it’s with the front, the secondary, the linebackers, everybody has to do their job. There’s a lot of people not doing it, or trying to do it differently than what we’re coached to. And that’s what I think.”

The Dolphins lost by largest margin of defeat, while allowing the most yards in a game and allowed the most points in a home game in team history.

Fitzpatrick was burned in the first quarter by rookie Ravens receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown for an 83-yard touchdown, where Fitzpatrick simply could not stop Brown from running past him.

Fitzpatrick also appeared at fault for another touchdown, but linebacker Raekwon McMillan missed his assignment to cover Ravens tight end Mark Andrews during the last Baltimore touchdown of the game early in the fourth quarter.

“Minkah had some good plays, he had some bad plays. At the end of the day, we wanted to get some other guys in there,” Flores said. “He’s a good player for us. We have a lot of confidence in him. Like all of us — players, coaches — he’s got to improve and perform better.”

Fitzpatrick simply said “yes” when asked if he and other members of the Dolphins secondary and the defense are playing in positions best suited to their skill sets.

This comes roughly three weeks after Fitzpatrick’s mother, Melissa, clamored on social media that her son should be playing free safety instead of the rover, hybrid defensive back role that tasks him with defending tight ends and slot receivers in the middle of the field.
